I owned one as my main CC tuba for about 4 years, recently. Mine was quite well in tune and responsive. i think it is one of the better CC tubas that Yamaha ever made. But, it has been discontinued for years.

I had tried others before I bought mine. I found them inconsistent. You have to wait for a real good one.
